EUROPEAN CULTURAL LIFESTYLE IN CERAMICS

from baroque until today

The exhibition, managed by the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza (MIC) with the collaboration of all the partners, has the aim to offer to a wide public the contents of the European project Ceramics and its dimensions in order to enhance the value of the different cultural heritage of each country partner of the project.

The exhibition intends to explore the past usage of ceramics in order to better know our present situation, starting from the every-day ceramic production to reach the great possibilities of ceramics in any field, included the world of art. The exchange of mutual knowledge and the sharing of rich ceramic histories will strengthen the role of European ceramics in order to face the difficult future challenges that, in particular, the cultural policies have to carry on. It is necessary to be part of a context where each partner offers a fundamental brick to build a reliable structure.

The exhibition is expected to leave a powerful message, to attract the attention of several targets of audience, without being worried to establish the fundamental and basilar role of ceramics. The exhibition, consisting in a corpus of items coming from the museum partners, will focus the attitude of people towards ceramics from different point of view: historical/artistic, educational strategies and virtual access to collections and heritages.
